    Dunnes Donaghmede had 9 xbox 360s this morning for €100. as far as i know its not the arcade version.

    my sister was up there when the shop opened and bought 2, so i have a shiny new xbox waiting for me at home.

    she said there was no one else up there waiting to buy one.

    not sure whether any other dunnes were selling them this morning

    I know Tesco sold off some original XBox consoles recently - are you sure it's a 360?


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,420 ✭✭✭WellyJ


    Doubt this is true

    Trust me, i had my doubts about my sister, so i rang her and told her to call out what was on the box, and yep, as was advertised in store yesterday, they are original xbox 360's. she said it doesnt mention anything about it being the arcade version on the box so im presuming its the proper 30gig or whatever it is.

    last night she was there shopping and told me they had a pallet of electrical goods which had a sign that said "all these products 50% off tomoro"

    the xbox 360 was on a sheet of paper marked at 180€ after the 50% was taken off.

    but when she got to the till and paid they were 100 a pop, so she bought two.

    buy the 2 for 200e.

    then go to gamestop in santry & trade them in you will make a bit of profit

    How much do you get for trading in a 360 anyway,

    Anybody know if any other Duunes are doing the same offer?

    It may be an older "core" system?

    The one you can't play LIVE on. Worth checking anyway.

    Cant play live on?

    Expand on that please?

    probably not because it sounds like a mistake in the donaghmede store. Someone's going to be in trouble methinks. Of course if i was online they'd just try to charge everyone full price and get sh!tty when people cancelled the orders (in my experience anyway - not of dunnes somewhere else) but they wouldn't have the gall to do it in a regular shop on the street.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,220 ✭✭✭CyberWaste


    Im guessing its the core system, the one with no hard drive! Picture of receipt and box please! ;):p

    Its cos it has no hard drive, you need a HDD to play on live.

    No you dont!

    My friend bought a core with me on Day 1 and I watched him playing on live on a memory stick for a good year and a half before he could afford a hard drive!
